Our Mother's Day Hike in Yellowstone

For Mother's Day this year, we went on a hike in Yellowstone on the Black Tail Deer creek trail. We packed a picnic and after Church we drove to Lava Creek, which is about 6 miles from Gardiner. We ate our lunch at one of the five tables they have at the picnic area. It is very pretty because there is the Lava Creek, of course, and lots of trees for shade. It was 87°! We made it about a mile since Tilly was walking, but it was still fun. We saw obsidian and old tipi rings. Then we came back for a barbecue at Dan and Becky's. Fun day!

Picnic time!

Climbing on a rock. :)

The girls!

Made it to the top! There were still old patches of snow on the other side...

I love candid shots. :)

Playing in the creek when we got back from the hike. We were hot!

We made a tiramisu cake for the barbecue!

Happy Mother's Day!
